Almost 42 weeks pregnant,"Induced", Labor, C section and 11 lbs and 8 oz?

Question

I was wondering if someone had been though this? I supposed to be induced Thursday morning at 7:00 am, but I started to having contraction around 3:00am, when I went to the hospital I was 4 cm, the doctor break my water etc. At 3:00pm I was 6 cm, they give me Pitocin but it didn't work because by 8:30pm I was the same, so they give me another strong Pitocin, but it didn't work, so by 9:00pm the doctor told me that the baby's heart was racing and the he knew that the baby would'nt fit throw the birht canal, so I ended up in c- section, but because my belly can't get numb I don't know why I ende up sleepy. When I wake up I saw my beautiful baby, healthy, and he weight 11 lbs and 8 oz, WOW!!!

Sorry about my English, Not to good!!!

i went through a simillar suituation. 1month ago i had my baby girl by c-section. i was a week and 5days over due and the more i went over due the more unlikely it was going to be a natural birth, my mum had 4c-sections with us kids because of a small pelvis and my body type is alot like my mums so a possible c-section was already on the playing cards. (they thought my baby was going to be round 7 to 8pounds a big baby for my small body.) i was not even 1cm dialated nore had my baby drop fully. so i was admitted to hospital one night to be induced, and push things along. that night they inserted a small amount of jel which they told me was only to soften my cervix, and if i had any pains i wouldnt be in labor it would just be braxtonhicks. At 3oclock in the morning i woke up with horrible pains coming every 5minutes for 50seconds, i waited out the whole night and at about 7am a midwife came in to check on me and i told her what had happened over night, i was checked out and had only dialated 1cm, at 8:30am i was given another dosage of the jel and they later broke my water. i was still not progressing so at about 3pm they inserted a IV where they pumped more stuff to progress my labor into my veins. i very slowly made progress, by 5pm i had only dialated 3cm (all this pain for nothing i thought.) so i then had an epidural done, to relieve my pain, by 8pm i was dialated 6cm and my midwife and OB were not happy with my progress (bubs still hadnt fully droped!). i was told that in two more hours if i had not dialated any further then i would make the choice of to carry on or to have a c-section? the two more hours came quick and sure enough i was still at 6cm. i was so exhausted by then so instead of going on for god knows how much longer I took up the c-section offer. at 10:13pm my baby girl was born everything seemed so unreal i was in a horible state my body finally gave up and i fell to sleep leaving the midwifes to latch her on to feed. i woke up at 5am the next morning with this beautiful wee baby by my side i was so overwhelmed!!! every one was shocked  when she only weighed in at 6pound 13 oz!! a really good size for me, my OB and midwife said.hehe! well thaats my experience .......11pound 8oz oh my gosh thats amazing!!! congrats!!!!!
